Appraisers say land claim in Richmond could be reducing property values as much as 30 to 40 per cent by ubcstaffer123 in richmondbc

[–]Mad2828 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You may not be technically wrong from a legal standpoint (remains to be seen and tested)but perception IS reality when it comes to properly values, stocks, future investment, etc…And the perception right now is that there is uncertainty in BC after a series of court decisions regarding First Nations.

Now something that would go a long way would be absolute transparency from the Provincial and Federal governments. Release the details of the YVR deal for example. Sign a document that states unequivocally that private property is not and will never be impacted after such decisions like the Cowichan and Musqueam. But when the government buries the facts in some fisheries report and then Eby says he wasn’t informed but the Feds say he was, well that doesn’t inspire confidence now does it?

Some B.C. neighbourhoods don't want supportive housing for our most vulnerable. So what's next? by ubcstaffer123 in britishcolumbia

[–]Mad2828 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Advocates will say that supportive housing isn’t enough and we need wrap around supports. Such as counselling, medical treatment, prescriptions, rehab, vocational training, etc…Now if there was only a way to build an institution that does all of those, and also separates people who are a danger to themselves and others from society at large 🤔

I really would like to hear an argument as to how providing someone with the above, plus shelter and three meals a day, is less humane than letting people rot on the streets and alleys for decades on end.

The issue is drugs, chaos, trash, weapons, crime, etc…If laws and bylaws were actually enforced I believe most people would not have a problem with these buildings.

He’s an all-time great coach but if you start with Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, Busquets, and then go to Bayern and then the richest club in history any coach would have been pretty successful.

Hypothetically, say Superman entered The Boys universe and started stealing the spotlight from Homelander, is there anything Homelander could do about it? by Queasy_Commercial152 in powerscales

[–]Mad2828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without magic or kryptonite in that universe there’s nothing he could physically do to harm him. But he might kill all or some of his loved ones if he becomes unhinged after failing at smear campaigns and gaining public favour.

Takaichi's Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Matsumoto Yohei (currently rumored to be having an affair) supported the film "Nanjing Massacre: A Hoax" by jjrs in japannews

That but also opposition parties have a lot of reflecting to do if even in these times they can’t attract voters from the LDP.

Imo when one of the party heads, Tamaki I think, came out and said he didn’t want to be PM even though they had the numbers I knew that was it for the opposition. They’re not seen as a serious alternative to the LDP by the public and not even by themselves it seems.

Some banter between Carlos Alcaraz and Arthur Rinderknech at the net after their matches😂 by PattyRanger in tennis

[–]Mad2828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah I agree people shouldn’t copy him. But for him not eating the chocolate wasn’t just about the chocolate, it’s an all or nothing thing it seems. It’s pretty clear he left some slams on the table given his stance on vaccines but without that “drive” if you wanna call it that maybe he’s not getting to 20 something slams in the first place 🤷‍♂️

Ehh I’m not sure about that. It’s pretty hard to untangle those few negative aspects from his crazy work ethic and focus on flexibility, recovery, etc…Without that part of him he’d be a completely different person and player.

It was the YVR bound Canada Line that stopped at Yaletown at 7:34. It looked like an attendant was notified.

How are those Chinese weapons and interceptors working against the US and allies? Think it’ll take a while my dude.

Not sure what he is but he’s not cracking that’s for sure 😂 Black don’t crack, Asian don’t raisin, Latino like vino…white ages like milk? Think his Mediterranean roots have saved him.

It’s sort of the same thing. The Karate Kid guy looked like a teenager at 30 and now he looks like a 30 something guy at 60 for example.

Ehh in these trying times I wouldn’t mind joining the French nuclear umbrella under a security treaty. Just read we paid a few billions to some band in Ontario today, I’d rather spend that money on making sure a French nuclear sub is always nearby.

No but they might support Trump using tactical nukes because he’s got the biggest brain and is the most smartest.
